Chapter 360: Soul Extraction
Seeing Kurihara Momiji nodded, Natsuki continued to smile and said, "Okay, let's get down to business, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Kurihara Momiji frowned: "Xia Shujun, we're not joking, this matter is really urgent, we came here to find you to give a way, and we don't have so much time to discuss." ”
"Momiji-chan," I didn't expect Kurihara Momiji to be so excited, Ishikawa Asami quickly pulled Kurihara Momiji's clothes, and then laughed with Natsuki: "I'm really sorry, Natsuki-kun, I made you laugh, it's just that Momiji-chan is so anxious, so it's so rude, please don't mind too much." ”
The implication is that he is also blaming Natsuki for not coming up with a solution quickly, Natsuki naturally knows what they mean, so he can't help but smile and shake his head, and then explain: "Because I'm not sure what this is, that's why I want to guess some answers from your answers." ”
"You don't know either?!" Kurihara Momiji and Ishikawa Asami looked disbelieving, after all, Natsuki was so powerful before, they came here thinking that Natsuki could easily solve it, but they didn't expect Natsuki to say such a sentence.
Xia Shu spread his hands helplessly: "I'm not a god, for these things, I definitely still need some basis, you have to give me some conditions, right?" If it's just a black fog, the description is getting thicker and thicker, then I really can't guess what it is. ”
This time it was Kurihara Momiji's turn and Ishikawa Asami was embarrassed.
Kurihara Momiji sorted out the memories in his mind, and then described it to Natsuki again: "This thing, I think it's very strange, it's that it gives me a very dull feeling, it makes me particularly depressed, if it wasn't for the enchantment that put down my crotch at that time, then I would definitely faint on the spot." When it came to the end, Kurihara Momiji's face was a little heavy.
"What?!" Hearing Kurihara Momiji say this, the first person to exclaim was Asami Ishikawa, and she looked at Kurihara Momiji excitedly: "Why didn't you say it at the time?" If we knew you were going to faint, we wouldn't have been able to let you sit there and observe. Do you know that you are not responsible for yourself? ”
Kurihara Momiji's face was instantly embarrassed, and he hurriedly reassured Ishikawa Asami: "Okay, okay, I'm not fine, right?" ”
"Every night, when I go back, I fall straight to the bed, is this called okay?" Ishikawa Asami didn't calm down her anger at all, and directly began to accuse Kurihara Momiji: "I thought you were so tired after standing there for too long, so you were so sleepy, it turns out that you have been patient?" ”
"But I really didn't have any problems at the time, don't you think I'm fine?" Kurihara Momiji said helplessly.
Natsuki looked at the two of them with great interest, he had never seen such an excited Ishikawa Asami, he had always thought that Ishikawa Asami was just a personal bodyguard of Kurihara Momiji, but now it seems, it seems to be a friend? Natsuki guessed. And with Ishikawa Asami's excited look, Bacheng is still a very good friend. Natsuki couldn't help but smile, it seems that he is getting more and more inaccurate about seeing people, I always thought that Ishikawa Asami was a little jealous of Kurihara Momiji, so he often followed silently and didn't talk much.
Sure enough, looking at people or something, Natsuki thinks he's not very good at it.
In fact, Natsuki didn't know that Asami Ishikawa was really jealous of Kurihara Momiji in the past, but because of what happened before, the care for Kurihara Momiji far exceeded jealousy.
And now, Kurihara Momiji and Ishikawa Asami have been arguing about this issue for a long time, and they only remembered what the purpose of coming here was today, and suddenly when the two of them looked at Natsuki, they were both embarrassed.
Xia Shu smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have anything to do," Xia Shu automatically ignored a group of people in Ruyue Village who were still waiting for him to go back, I don't know if Ruyue Xia will complain about him if she knows, but for now, this matter is indeed more important, so Xia Shu continued: "Then, please continue." ”
After Kurihara Momiji calmed down Asami Ishikawa, he continued to recall, and said with some confusion: "Actually, I don't know how those who were infected later were infected, everyone didn't seem to have been exposed to the black mist, but suddenly they were infected very quickly, and everyone obviously didn't get very close, I didn't even see those black mist approaching the infected people behind, they were inexplicably infected." ”
Natsuki's eyes narrowed slightly: "This phenomenon should not exist in theory, if it is an infection, there must be contact, if there is no contact, and there is no mist spreading to them, then one thing can only be determined." ”
"What's the matter?" Kurihara Momiji and Ishikawa Asami asked in unison, their faces full of nervousness.
"It's highly likely that they're carrying the same thing." Natsuki looked sharply at the two stunned people in front of him, as if he wanted to find something out of their faces.
But Kurihara Momiji was very confused: "The same thing? It shouldn't be, they're basically separate people who go to various regions, and there's no intersection or anything like that, and if I'm not mistaken, there are even some people between them who don't go out on the same mission, that is, they aren't students from the same academy. That way, they don't have anything in common. ”
When Xia Shu heard this, he also frowned slightly: "If you think about it carefully, what are the things that all the disciples are likely to bring on them?" ”
Asami Ishikawa quickly replied, "It's the clan emblem!" Every time we go on a mission, we will carry the family emblem of the Kurihara family, and every disciple of the Kurihara family will carry this family emblem. ”
"If that's the case," Natsuki's face became serious, "then this matter is very serious. ”
"This is impossible," Kurihara Momiji quickly denied, and then said anxiously: "There were many people present at the time who were not infected, so you can't guess like that." ”
Natsuki couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly when he heard Kurihara Momiji say this, "So can you be sure that everyone present is wearing the clan emblem?" Like Momiji-chan you, or like Asami-chan? ”
Kurihara Momiji and Ishikawa Asami glanced at each other, and then both nodded solemnly: "That's right, in fact, it's not just our family, there are some other families who also have their own family emblems, so that they can recognize this as their own family when they are outside, and this is also the identity symbol of the spiritual power cultivators of the big family." ”
"Is that so?" Natsuki sighed, "Then there may be some trouble with the problem, and finally there is a common denominator, but it was completely rejected." So are you sure you don't have anything else in common? ”
Kurihara Momiji thought about it, and then shook his head and said that he really couldn't think of anything else in common, Ishikawa Asami also shook his head like this, originally Kurihara Momiji's memory was much better than her, and even Kurihara Momiji couldn't think of things, how could Ishikawa Asami think of it?
However, Kurihara Momiji continued to say one thing: "However, in fact, the person who was infected at the time was the person next to him, but it was true that there was no contact, but at that time, they all suddenly fell to the ground, which is also what makes us feel very strange." As long as it was someone who was there at the time, whether it was a late attack or an early attack, it seemed that they could not escape the ending of being swallowed by that black fog and devouring their souls. Thinking of the scene at that time, thinking of those outstanding disciples of his own family, Kurihara Momiji's eyes flashed a trace of distress, after all, these are all people of his own family, how can she, the future patriarch, not feel distressed? What's more, one less teammate is equivalent to being at a disadvantage compared to other families.
"Soul?" Natsuki caught a key word.
"yes, ah, did I forget to say it just now? It was we who detected that they seemed to have their souls drained. Kurihara Momiji said a little embarrassed, and then guessed: "Xia Shujun, do you think it will be because of the soul that has been drained, they will be so painful?" ”
Natsuki glanced at Kurihara Momiji appreciatively, this girl is indeed smart enough, when she said that about Kurihara Momiji before, Natsuki also had some guesses in her heart, and probably knew that even if Kurihara Momiji's ability to empathize was gone, the Kurihara family would not pay attention to her anymore, because Kurihara Momiji was smart enough.
"That's true. People are most painful when they are drained from their souls. Xia Shu said lightly, looking into the distance, a little ethereal, and a little trance, as if he recalled something from the past.
"Is it really a soul drain?" Kurihara Momiji couldn't help but exhale, and then quickly explained: "Natsuki-kun, we originally guessed so, but after they died, it was normal for their souls to be lost, but we just found some clues, so we guessed that their screams of pain might be because their souls were withdrawn." Unexpectedly, we guessed it! Saying this, Kurihara Momiji was a little excited, but after the excitement, he quieted down again, and then smiled bitterly.
"What's the use of knowing it?" Kurihara Momiji muttered.
